Call for Papers
The 26th International Conference on Information Systems Development (ISD2017) will be hosted by UCLan Cyprus, School of Sciences, Pyla, Cyprus.
The ISD2017 Conference theme: Advances in Methods, Tools and Management
New trends in developing information systems emphasize organizational aspects of their development and social aspects of the final product. The influence of information systems and technologies on organizational structures, processes and people is paralleled by the impact of new organizational structures and social dynamics on information systems development, functionality and management. The ISD2017 Conference focuses on these mutual influences in order to promote research into methodological issues and ways in which information systems designers are transforming organizations and society, with emphasis on Methods, Tools and Management.
ISD2017 will be organised around a number of new and well established tracks. See the description of the Conference Tracks for more information.

T1: Information Systems Methodologies and Modelling
Track description:
Information Systems Methodologies and Modelling have been changing considerably through time. Once synonymous of blueprinting for the coding of solutions from scratch, they nowadays must account for a mature software market, where complex solutions, such as ERPs, CRMs, and Business Process Management (BPM) systems can be acquired and integrated to address the business needs.
On top of that, a lot of those solutions are now sourced from the cloud, in the form of Software-as-a-Service. Finally, as services account for around 70% of the GDP of developed economies, methodologies and modelling must also evolve to encompass the design of those services and their underlying information systems.
Track topics include (but not limited to):
- User involvement, user experience design, human computer interaction, assistive technologies;
- Agility in IS development
- Model-driven development, domain engineering, aspect oriented programming
- Data analysis and visualization
- BPM and Intelligence
- Integration and interoperability
- IS modelling and simulation
- IS for micro, small and large enterprises
- Business transactions for large-scale data
- Semantics in business modelling
- Multidimensional modelling and queries
- Business performance management
- Business process optimization
- Business process simulation
- Business process analysis and design
- Collaborative, participative, and interactive modelling (CPI Modelling)
- Organizations and Cloud Computing

T2: Managing IS Development
Track description:
We are in the amazing period of change. Information systems and underlying infrastructure are becoming increasingly complex and costly to implement and maintain. New approaches for the design, development, assessment, and management of information technology and systems within organizations, businesses, and societies are needed to handle the complexity in data management and diversity in semantic processing of the information systems. The “Managing IS Development” track at ISD 2016 will aim at promoting research directions and share practical experiences on managing IS development by providing a forum where academic and industrial researchers on different areas can share and disseminate ideas and experiences related to innovative practices, methods and technologies. Authors are invited to submit papers describing original research in all areas related to managing IS development.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- ICT governance
- Strategies and philosophical aspects of ICT
- Emerging issues in managing IS development
- Interdisciplinary problems in IS research and development
- Human factors in IS development
- Enterprise Architecture Management
- Knowledge management for IS development

In addition, securing information systems is challenging as a number of elements interact and need to be taken into consideration, including people, data, software, hardware, procedures and networks. This track will address security and privacy issues in the design, modelling, implementation, deployment, assessment and overall management of IS. Authors are invited to submit papers of either practical or theoretical nature, describing original contributions in all aspects of security and privacy in ISD.

T12: General topics in ISD
Track description:
The everyday practice of information systems development is very diverse. Application domains, analysis and design techniques, programming languages, development paradigms, and project strategies can all vary over different spectra. Many information systems development projects often fail to deliver the expected benefits. Current trends in the development of information systems are in linking users and databases across functional and organizational boundaries and at the same time increasing the importance of organizational factors. Risks of failure in ISD projects increase where no participant has a global view or control of the activities. Hardware and software are components of a more complex socio-technical ensemble that includes people, work processes, and institutional and cultural factors.
Information systems development is becoming increasingly important aspect of transforming organizations and society. Issues like design methods, models and evaluation techniques, methodological aspects of ISD and novel IS domains are main areas of contribution of this track. Additionally, in the area of project management, focus on topics like design methods, models and evaluation techniques, methodological aspects of Project Management within ISD and novel IS domains are main areas of contribution of this track.
Track topics include (but not limited to):
- Innovation in ISD
- ISD for Entrepreneurship
- ISD and Social Networks
- Internet technologies and Web services
- Wireless applications
- Multimedia applications
- Geographical Information Systems
- Interoperability
- Offshoring and globalisation of software development
- Digital business strategy and governance
- Model-driven engineering in ISD
- Agile and participatory development
- Social and organizational factors in the success or failure of ISD project
